Art of the Street

Banksy, the mysterious British graffiti artist who continually grabs headlines, has long made Bristol a cite for his subject paintings. These graffiti pieces can be found in many places throughout the city. Like many of Banksy’s pieces, they are still the high quality and detail as when he first painted them.
